    Located on the north flank of Mauna Loa Volcano, this observatory is 11,135 feet above sea level (almost 3,000 feet lower than neighboring Mauna Kea). This research facility has been used since the 1950's and provides panoramic views of all the surrounding volcanic land.

    You'd think the buildings would have to pump in oxygen to ensure the 8 staff that operate the facility are not oxygen deprived.
